Go job we are on our way out of Europe.
The French have been filmed escorting these boats into British waters and "handing them over" to our Border Farce who then bring them to Dover where they are whisked away by a fleet of waiting coaches to hotels around the country.
Do the BBC/Channel 4 report this. Do they hell. They are part of the problem.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Does my head in.
If they want to escape there country fine.
But don't travel to the far end of Europe to seek refuge.
We are already full without having more draining our system.
BFH as Jim Bowen used to say.
If the French spoke English, offered free hotel accommodation, money to buy food, free medical and dental treatment then perhaps this would solve the problem.
Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
I love reading some of the bullshit that people come out with on here. Stagger suddenly thinks us leaving the EU will stop illegal immigration and Big Fella poos poos the French for not speaking English, not having a largely national insurance funded, free Health Service (they do) and for not taking in their fair share of refugees (which they also do). France has a very large immigrant population as do Germany, Sweden and others, including us obviously.
As for having absolutely no compassion or concern for people upping sticks and risking everything to move in the hope of a better and often no longer persecuted way of life?? What the feck would you lot do if you found yourselves in similar circumstances?
And don’t come out with ‘we should look after our own first’ bollocks as I can’t imagine you have any compassion for anybody else either

#alllivesmatter well, unless the Daily Mail suggests that actually they don’t really eh?

Hell, they’re even the course of tail-backs on the M25 now

I don't really understand what is driving these people to come to the UK from other safe countries where they could seek asylum if it's not the attraction of speaking English or the government openly advertising the benefits they can expect to receive even if their asylum claim fails.
I agree we have a duty to help those in genuine need but not those who just want a better life, who doesn't.
And as for compassion I donate to Shelter quite regularly as I don't believe our own homeless, of whatever background, have as many rights as those choosing to cross the channel illegaly.
Have you tried to register with an NHS dentist recently?

Has anyone seen a breakdown please of which countries these people are leaving behind for the chance of a free scrape and polish, plus a few nights in the local Ibis Budget?
